One More Thing

I’m still thinking about those raspberries. I might have to move my regular dinner time up to 5 PM. Retirement homes might have a good idea there.

Berries and Doggies and More, Oh My!

Last week included some berries from a local farm.  They were delicious berries, so they deserve a shout-out. See what I mean?  [Okay, you can’t see that they’re delicious, but you can see that they’re beautiful and bright and such.] Raspberries are my favorite, and add to that a day of sunshine and happy dogs…
